ADJUSTMENTS IN THE “SET MENU” MODE
The following ten types of functions maximize the performance of your system and expand your enjoyment for audio listening and video watching.
English
1.CNTR (CENTER SPEAKER)
2.REAR (REAR SPEAKER)
3.MAIN (MAIN SPEAKER)
4.BASS (LFE/BASS OUT)
5.M.LVL (MAIN LEVEL)
For details on “1. CNTR”, “2. REAR”, “3. MAIN”, “4. BASS” and “5. M.LVL”, see page 19. (Once you have selected the appropriate modes, you do not have to change settings unless any alteration is made in your speaker system.)
6.LFE [Adjusting the output level of the LFE (low frequency effect) channel]
Control range:
Preset value: 0 dB
*This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital is decoded and the signals of selected source encoded with the Dolby Digital contain LFE signals.
Adjusts the output level of the LFE (low frequency effect) channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels to output them from the same speakers, the ratio of LFE signal level to the level of other signals are adjusted. (See page 5 for details about the LFE channel.)
6.LFE (LFE LEVEL)
7.D.RNG (DYNAMIC RANGE)
8.C.DELAY (CENTER DELAY)
9.GUARD (MEMORY GUARD)
10.INPUT (INPUT MODE)
7. D.RNG (Adjusting dynamic range)
Choices: MAX/STD/MIN
Preset position: MAX
*This adjustment is effective only when the Dolby Digital is decoded.
MAX: “Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature very wide dynamic range.
Dolby Digital technology can bring the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged.
In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital is reproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamic range providing you with powerful sounds just like in a movie theater.
Selecting this position will be even better if you can listen to a source in a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.
STD (Standard):
Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending upon the condition of your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound output level as high as a movie theater. However, in a level suitable for listening to in your room, the low level parts of source sound often cannot be heard so well because they will be lost among noises in your environment.
Dolby Digital technology also made it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the data of sound.
In this position, a source encoded with the Dolby Digital is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the source suitable for low level listening.
MIN: In this position, dynamic range is more reduced than in the STD position.
Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a source at lower level.
